i have a Sunday night ritual.
i watch The Walking Dead and get all pumped up and then I watch The Good Wife to calm me back down.

Ha!
This episode had me more on the edge than WD usually does.
The acting complexity from scene to scene and entire seasonal story lines twisting on a dime.
Every time I think I know where they are going they shift everything entirely.
That was crazy good.

My watches this every week but I've only seen some of a few here and there when I happen to be sitting in the room. I happened to watch all of this with her last night and thought it was great.

I never started watching since the premise made it sound like, to me, that it was nothing more than a Lifetime movie stretched into a series. I'm starting to wonder if I've been missing a really good show.

I started watching because I loved the actors, and thought I'd give it a chance. It has been my must-watch-on-Sunday show. I don't do much time shifting, except perhaps to delay until I can ff through commercials.

Not every episode is so tension filled and fast paced, but I can honestly say I think every episode is extremely well-acted, and usually very well written.

I avoided it for the same reasons until the groundswell of people I trust was too big to ignore. It's a great, great show.

Great episode. Especially good as a culmination of 90ish episodes of tv. Essentially, they took the four protagonists (yes, Alicia is 1A, but still) and have pitted them against each other. All four have done things on the gray side, and who you side with could very well vary from person to person.

I know in my household, my wife is disgusted with Will and Diane, while I easily put a lot of blame on Alicia. They at least know they are gray-shaded lawyers, while Alicia pretends to ride a moral high horse while still doing the dirty stuff. Striking out on her own? Not when the Governor makes it possible. Only taking good clients? Not when there is a Lemond Bishop to contact.

I love that. Will is hurt by Alicia, but at the same time it is totally true that even if she became Managing Partner, she would always feel like she was 'under' Will. Diane's best interest was to keep quiet and take her judgeship, but she let her personal feelings for Alicia (she's always bristled at her privilege) get in the way. Cary is probably the least culpable, but he also dicked around Kalinda.

I am completely undecided on whether he will or not. I love that they've made him sufficiently complex that it could really go either way.

I can't believe that after however many seasons of rooting for Alicia and Will all of a sudden I'm rooting for Peter.

For me, I never rooted for Will. Not for a moment. I guess watching the imprisoned Peter work hard to gain his freedom, to turn his life around, and to begin the process of regaining Alicia's trust, made me root for him early on.

I have smiled at his fidelity, even though I've been shaken by the twists and turns trying to convince viewers of Peter's relapse, before we find out he has remained steadfast.

Now, obviously, the regaining of Alicia's trust is a work in progress. Despite her growing love, and/or desire for the man, she is wary at how easily his zipper came down in the past. I think if that were to happen again, Illinois might have yet another sordid scandal swirling around the governorship, with Alicia being very public about Peter's, um, peter.

What seems off to me is Alicia's easy acceptance of Peter using his position to help her (for example, she smiled when she saw his speech mentioning Internet taxation). Hasn't she resisted such things in the past?

This is the thing that is troubling. Yes, Peter has worked hard to get back with Alicia, but they have never really showed us her 'emotional' connection with him. She's used him for sex, yes. She's used his connections, yes. But she's never really let him back into her heart.

There is a lot to like in the show's ambiguity. One thing is that I have no idea where they will actually end the show.
